Inspirational sewing

February 4, 2012

I came across a blogger friend this morning that dishes out such inspiration.  I was catching up this morning on reading some wonderful blogs while having coffee, and I'm amazed how some women can get so many things done in weeks time.  I'm talking about Heidi from My Simple Country Living.  This woman is awesome, she shares with the world her talents in cooking, gardening, and sewing and many other things.  You have to check out her blog, i don't think this woman sleeps any.
Well, after reading her blog this morning, i decided to get motivated and attempt to get a sewing project done once a month.  I use to love to sew, and sorta put it on the back burner.  My oldest daughter is wanting to learn how to sew, and now we have a baby girl to sew cute things for, so thank you Heidi for the motivation.

Two weeks ago, i was digging through some old patterns i have saved just because i like old vintage things and didn't want to throw them out because they were out of style.  I had a stash of fabrics that i dug through as well.  I did get something made for Jessie, my grandbaby.

I used one of the patterns and had this cute fabric for some time.  She's gonna be a lil cowgirl like her momma, so i wanted to use this western boot and hat fabric.   

Look at the price on some of these old patterns, $.50 cents and $1.00, Wow!!!!!!!!!!! wish we can still find some patterns for that price.....

I think i will get some small red ribbon to embelish the eyelet ruffle around the neck, maybe a small ribbon bow, what do you think??

I can't wait to try the Simplicity 7708 pattern, now that's vintage.  My mom had that pattern and made these for my sister and I years and years ago...........ha ha ha

Thank you Heidi for your hop to inspire me to get back into sewing.
